Peterloo massacred

ON 24 June this blog flagged up a new book by Stella Davis (Young, 1's & 3's 59-64), published by Peterloo Poets.

It then emerged that Keith Chandler (Th A 56-64) had his fourth collection of poems, The English Civil War Part 2 (£7.95), published by the same firm last year - a pleasing coincidence.

Pleasure turned to dismay with the news that Peterloo ceased trading in April, when Stella's book was due to appear. As far as I can see, it never did. Will another imprint take it up?

Meanwhile the only way to obtain Keith's collection seems to be to email Peterloo and they'll pass your request on to him.

A disappointing business; my sympathy to both authors.
